[gmx-users] how to assign options of the same type?

[Barnett, James W]

If you use -deffnm it gives the same prefix to all files that are output (and requires the same prefix on the .tpr file that is input).

For example, if your tpr file is "md.ttr" you could do

gmx mdrun -deffnm md

Your checkpoint files will be named "md.cpt" and your trr files will be named "md.trr", as well as anything else that is being output as specified in the mdp file you used with grompp (energy files, gro files, xtc files, etc).

You can't specify multiple files to any option that is not labeled "Mult."  In
the case of mdrun -o, that is the output trajectory format.  The general help
info in the synopsis indicates that this file type may be interchangeable in a
general sense, but here it is somewhat misleading.  You shouldn't try to output
a checkpoint file in lieu of your trajectory.  The .cpt is produced
(automatically) with -cpo.
